**Alberta Travel Times**


Stardate May 8, 2018

Time it takes a train to pass our train:  About 3 minutes
Time we spend sitting along the main line on a siding waiting for a train that will pass us: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Time we spend traveling: 24 minutes (about 4 minutes at a very slow crawl)
Here is the math question:  If we are traveling at an average of 30 miles per hour how many miles do we travel in an hour??
The good news is that I have learned how to use the Stop-Watch on my computer.
In the interim, Birgit has walked from one end of the train to the other (in an attempt to get a few steps on her Fitbit) and she reports that it takes 11 minutes to walk from one end to the other.  In a non-moving train.  We will have to repeat this while the train is moving later.
On other news – there is rumor of a beer tasting this afternoon!
Update - no beer tasting BUT we got lots of champagne before dinner.  Made the conversation in the dining car quite lively!
Here is going to breakfast!
